Hi Miles,
I purchased a HVLP gun with 1.6 & 2 MM nozzles. So far I have only used for
smooth prime and it has worked very nicely. I have had no experience using
it with other paint types yet.
Regards, Paul

Having worn out my old spray gun, I'm in the process of looking for a new
one... I'm considering HVLP, but find that those I talk to are 50/50 for and
against....
pros and cons of HVLP seem to be (1) much less overspray (2) harder to set
up (3) paint comes out less finely atomised and needs more time/thinners to
flow out....
Budget is up to about 150.
Initially it'll be used for painting ali and fabric (the Auster is in the
workshop for fuselage recovering) but no doubt it'll be used on some bits of
the Europa as well.
Comments, suggestions?
all the best,
Miles
